Karenz was doing duty as the name for every kind of extended absence, but
the cases behave differently in payroll and reporting — Wochenhilfe, a
Präsenzdienst, a long sick leave and a sabbatical are not the same thing.
The concept is now called Langzeitabwesenheit and carries which kind it is.
- employees.absence_type, constrained to the thirteen kinds. start_karenz
stores it on both paths (written straight away, or parked in the
pending_org_changes payload when the absence starts later);
record_karenz_return and the karenz_return branch of
apply_due_pending_changes clear it, so a returned employee does not keep
looking like they are still away. It also reaches employee_history, the
audit log and the employee export.
- The status enum value stays 'Karenz'. Postgres can rename an enum value in
place, but every stored function body that spells it would then reference
a value that no longer exists — a dozen functions across fifteen
migrations, rewritten for a label. The mapping lives in lib/absence.ts
instead, which is the single place the UI reads the display name from.
- Where a kind is recorded the chip shows it — "Bildungskarenz" says more
than "Langzeitabwesenheit". Absences predating the field have none and
fall back to the generic name rather than to a guess, and a value outside
the list is dropped rather than echoed into the UI.
- The export prints the display name, not the raw enum: a payroll hand-off
reading "Karenz" for what the app calls Langzeitabwesenheit only causes
questions. Audit filter options keep their stored values and change only
their labels.
- The seed spreads the twelve absences across the kinds; all of them being
Karenz would leave any breakdown by kind invisible.
Data model
- employee_assignments records org placement over time (valid_from/valid_to),
written by a trigger on `employees` rather than inside each RPC: ~70
`update employees` statements spread over fifteen migrations mean per-call
bookkeeping would miss paths today and again with every future RPC. A
partial unique index enforces the one-open-interval invariant the trigger
relies on when closing the current row.
- The Organigramm gains a Stichtag (default today). Membership comes from
entry/exit/karenz, past placement from the new history, future placement
projected from pending_org_changes. Placements predating the migration are
backfilled with today's values and flagged as such in the UI, since
employee_history only ever stored free text and cannot be reconstructed.
Correctness
- Reports and exports silently truncated at PostgREST's 1000-row cap
(db.max_rows); employee_history is already past it at ~800 staff. Every
whole-table read now pages explicitly.
- XLSX date cells were a day early: ExcelJS converts a Date to an Excel
serial straight off getTime(), so a Date built at local midnight lands on
the previous day's serial in any positive-offset zone.
- Date handling is pinned to Europe/Vienna throughout, and date-only strings
are formatted without a Date round-trip. The dashboard's YTD window was
built by round-tripping a local Date through toISOString(), which shifted
it a day early and dropped 31 December entirely.
- Export routes parsed measure/group/split/eventType with unchecked `as`
casts, so an unknown value reached column headers as `undefined` and the
Content-Disposition filename. Parsed against the label maps now, with the
filename slugged as a backstop.
- toXlsx keyed columns by header text, silently dropping the second of any
two columns sharing a name — split columns take their header from data.
- The org chart tree walks had no cycle guard; nothing in the schema forbids
a manager_id cycle, and one would hang the tab rather than misreport.
- The login page reflected ?error= verbatim, letting anyone put arbitrary
text on the real sign-in screen; messages are looked up by code now.
- React Flow needs elementsSelectable on, or it sets pointer-events:none on
the whole node and the expand control stops responding.
UI
- Mobile: the shell was unusable below lg — a fixed 236px margin pushed
content off-screen with no mobile navigation at all. The sidebar is now a
drawer, dvh replaces vh, safe-area insets are honoured, inputs are 16px so
iOS stops zooming on focus, and form grids stack.
- Org chart nodes redesigned: per-kind accent stripes and icons, vacant
roles called out, expand control moved to the bottom edge carrying the
child count.
- Pagination is windowed; it previously rendered one link per page (54 for
the employee list, unbounded for the audit log).
- Positions page reduced to open positions with a single "Besetzen" action.
- The employee Organisation tab links into the org chart focused on that
person, reusing the chart's existing search-match highlighting.
Also included, uncommitted until now
- Dependants, HR notes, academic titles, split address fields, position
validity and role/employment fields, with their migrations and UI.
- Docker/compose deployment setup, data-model and security-review docs.
Adds the Berichte export pipeline (/api/export/{report,events,employees})
with shared CSV/XLSX writers in lib/export.ts and lib/reports-data.ts.
Security pass alongside it: sanitize .or() search terms against PostgREST
filter injection, sanitize spreadsheet cells against CSV/Excel formula
injection, stop leaking raw DB error messages to clients, harden the
service-role client with server-only, add baseline security headers, and
bump the vulnerable nested postcss via an override.
Reworks the app from a two-role (hr_admin/manager) model to a single
HR-only role gated by profiles.is_active, fixes transfer/promote/karenz/
reorg RPCs to actually defer future-dated changes via a new
pending_org_changes table instead of writing them immediately (applied
by a daily Vercel Cron route), makes reorg undo append-only instead of
deleting history, adds Karenz-return and history-date integrity guards,
deprecates the salary column, and adds explicit schema grants + perf
indexes needed to run against a fresh (non-hosted) Postgres instance.
Adds vitest unit + integration test suites (the latter against a real
local Supabase instance) covering all of the above, plus lint/typecheck/
build wiring (`npm run check`).
